This is a case study that talks about how Bohemian Guitars increased mobile sales by 98% by allowing customers to ask questions just before deciding whether or not to make a purchase. The guitars are really cool and I just bought a ukelele on their Indiegogo campaign! Check it out: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-boho-series-2-0-by-bo...

This is a bit of "with great power, comes great responsibility" situation. It's really easy to piss someone off if you keep texting them. That's why Sonar is all about high touch two-way SMS, and that's largely how Mayvenn uses SMS as well. To use SMS effectively, it's important to let users opt in themselves, so they know to expect SMS and have the option to opt out. Mayvenn places their phone number on their website and asks customers if they want to opt in on the registration form.

Yup, some examples are service businesses to coordinate with users--(Rinse, Shyp, Handy etc.) Handy is even using it to register users for recurring cleaning service if they had a good experience. Delivery on demand companies are using it to allow opt out (Susie assumes you want a meal from them everyday unless you opt out of it.) Mayvenn's definitely the first to apply SMS to Ecommerce so well.

I wrote this case study to analyze how Mayvenn built up to 10s of millions in revenue and 30,000 hair stylsits across the United States. It was great to talk to Taylor Wang (COO of Mayvenn) and get his thoughts on it all. Esp on Email vs. SMS. Let me know if anyone has any questions!

Hey this is Neeharika from Sonar. We spoke with Taylor Wang, COO of Mayvenn yesterday and wanted to share a post on how Mayvenn's thinks about community and SMS: http://blog.sendsonar.com/2015/06/19/how-mayvenn-grew-its-co...

Lyft and Uber have caused a raucous in New York City, so we created a game to help New York City union members release their stress. Coshx Labs built this during our weeklong summit and hackathon. We built a few things; this awesome game, a business focused application and a browser extension to help bring civility to online discussion
